Hi i brake my LCD touch screen on HTC trophy 7 i sucesfully change it but the camera quality is very very bad even if i put it pictures on computer i don't know what to do i think this is not mechanical problem.. And my warranty void beacuse i opens phone by myself. Sorry. For my bad English I'm from Slovenia. Please help me !!!! :)
[Trophy General] preslavchooo:
I have this problem too. all the pictures that I have if I put glow effect ?!
[Trophy General] S100200:
I didn't understand what kind of problems do you have with your phones?

Here are some pics I made with my Trophy:
[Trophy General] preslavchooo:

[Trophy General] S100200:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW Those have some serious problems :eek:

Is the camera clean?

Howewer preslavchooo's last picture looks fine to me...

Seems like the indoor photos are reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally blurry :confused:

Maybe it could be a hardware problem...
[Trophy General] spmirek:
So i have a good picture from my Troophy.Try use other ROM.
[Trophy General] S100200:
Or restore stock ROM.

My Trophy is fully stock, no modifications made.
[Trophy General] rkremers:
I just switched from ATT to Verizon and bought a Trophy off Craigslist because I didn't want to use my discount knowing that more WP7 devices should hopefully hit Verizon in the next few months.

The phone I got was almost brand new, lady bought it only a few months ago, but it wasn't even on Nodo!

First thing I did was update the phone to Mango, then set it up.

I had the EXACT same type of problem with my camera as the picture you posted. I went into a Verizon store and they were able to send me a warranty replacement, which works normally now.
[Trophy General] baksunovic:
My Trophy has similar camera effect - like it's taking too much light from objects and creating so called glow effect, so everything seems blurry, especially indoors...

yes its clean :S
[Trophy General] S100200:
I suggest restoring stock ROM, if the problem still exists, it's a hardware problem, get it repaired.
[Trophy General] rkremers:
Hey primozz3065, I had the exact same problem, and while at the Verizon store, an employee "checked the forums" (not sure what forums) and said he confirmed that other phones have the same problem, so I think it's probably some sort of hardware issue. Unfortunately you mentioned that you opened your phone and voided your warranty, so you might be out of luck.
[Trophy General] preslavchooo:
My trophy its with stock rom 7392 NoDo chevron unlock.
[Trophy General] damtrx_:
I don't experience this problem on my Trophy . I think that camera lens are dirty for some reason . Try to clean it with computer display cleaning spray - inside and outside (warranty will be avoided if you dissemble the phone )

DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!!!

Or send back for repair to your local HTC supplier .They should send the phone to fix the problem .The nearest place to my location is Romania and the time for repair is about one month .
[Trophy General] mekzmaz323:
I had the same problem with my trophy...your pictures looks exactly like mine were before.

The camera lens was very dirty. Its hard to get lens clean, but its possible. I've used (my womens nail cleaner).

Just clean it will take some minutes) an the pictures will be good.

sorry 4my bad english ;-)
[Trophy General] dr.know:
turn the camera in HD mode
[Trophy General] kyehani:
All WP devices had bad camera. But you may improve by clean camera fresh
[Trophy General] preslavchooo:
How to turn ?
[Trophy General] </travis>:
The Trophy lens is just dirty, I've had this problem before with indoor/outdoor shots.

The lens has a layer of protective film on it (purple tint) that reduces light radiation, this layer is supposed to reduce light flares. Although with this, it fades out over time because it gets scratched when putting in pockets, thus making the lens look blurry and produces a soft glow image.

You need to carefully remove this layer. I have examined mine carefully and there was almost none left, I took several shots and noticed the edges are blurred and looked less saturated. So I took a cotton bud, and dropped a few of isopropyl alcohol on it and cleaned my lens. Before it had a purple tint on it, now its all clear and images are looking really well. Just to make sure the lens doesn't get scratched, I took an old screen protector (from an ipod nano) and made circles with it with a puncher and put it on my trophys lens.
[Trophy General] markotodic:
Same problem!

I have same problem with my Trophy, taken photos have so much blur effect!!! :mad:

hi. I also have a problem with the camera. Outside photos are quite good, but when photographing indoors or document under fluorescent light photos are blurry. The camera is clean. Using custom rom(ultrashot 8107)

VTSS, try half holding the camera button and letting it focus first. I get pretty decent inside shots and close ups that way.
[Trophy General] VTSS:
Of course I focus, but the picture is still blurred.

Hi!

I just got my brand new Lumia 800 yesterday. It was imported from german T-mobile (Telekom.de).

It came with a €50 VOICECASH voucher for apps but it requires activation with SMS from T-mobile first.

Anyone activated it already?

So amazon has the 1 cent phones for Black Friday weekend. I was thinking about getting one and adding it to a family plan, but i dont have a family plan.

Nope. The penny pricing is available to add-a-line options.... You can add a line to an individual plan. The only question is if Verizon will approve another line...your plan would result in Amazon charging you a $250 fee for not keeping the line (and the data plan on that line active...)

There is just 1GB on the NT for users to contain their own data, right? So, if I got a microSD, can I expand my own data storage?

And after rooted, can I install the apk or download games/apps on the Android market?

P/S: Sorry, my English it not good. :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ms2003:
i'm also a new guy. but i can help answer some simple questions to reduce senior guys' work load. if not correct, please point out.

to tritrung's questions, here's my answer:

default 1G data's usage just like TF card, you can store your files on TF card and the 1G internal storage, and it will be 2 folders, not one.

12G storage is used to install apks, which almost no limit for applications.

even if you don't rooted, you can install most programs, but if you want use google market, you need to root the device

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ewbradford:
Advice for micro SDHC cards for Nook Color hold the same for Nook Tablet?

I have been doing research on what Micro SDHC cards are best for the NT. From the XDA forum for Nook color, the best cards going are those that are class 4 from San Disk that are 16GB in memory due to the read/write speeds for smalls block random files. (Nook color benefits tremendously from this when custom ROMs are loaded I believe). Link is here for above info:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1005633&highlight=learn+to+love+cm7

With the hardware upgrade for the NT, does the above still hold true? Or can I now start searching for higher class micro SDHC cards (class 6 or even 10)? Planning on getting my NT in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for your help. It is much appreciated. These XDA forums are great for finding great answers/solutions to problems. Keep up the excellent work.

Regards, Eric in San Diego, CA
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
Yes pretty much everything in that thread still applies and is pretty sound advice. In general the higher the class the better. I have a class 10 16gb in mine. For just stuff like playing music any class is fine. When you start to get into advanced things like booting roms from sd or apps2sd is where class really starts to matter. One of the important things to remember is the class rating is the minimum speed that model should write. Like with my Sandisk 32gb class 4 alot of people were reporting write speeds around 6-8mbs/sec. Another example is the Sandisk in the thread you linked. Those are around $35 on Bens outlet or I heard newegg has them too. Good luck!

Swiping the notification bar from right to left will serve as a back button when one does not appear to be available.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skeeterpro:
OK. Lots of newer users here so let me touch on a few things that should well translate from the NC.

1. uSD classes: seems to matter little when using apps. Seldom are the speeds accurate anyway. Use reputable brands. Sandisc one of the best.

2. Never format uSD in your device. Always on your computer. Don't use Windows format. Often creates problems. Use this. Free and never failed me.

3. Root is optional for the NT right now. Certain apps require root access BUT untill a workable recovery scheme is devised I would recommend sideloading. Always unmount before removing. Yes, OTA will work and GApps will update.

4. I've not seen yet a reliable method of re-partitioning the eMMC for the NT (might have missed it if so) therefore sideloading would appear a workable plan for now.

5. If the hurdles can be overcome (and it is early yet, people) to achieve root + recovery many options will open but the NT appears pretty darn good as it is. Patience is a plus.

6. Search function and Google search is your friend. Xda is phenomenal but there are many other forums and many senior members post/read to several.

7. Research what you want to do before doing it. God knows I learned that the hard way myself! :)

8. An app called App2SD can help you moved apps that will function from the uSD and clear space on the eMMC.

9. Did I mention read and research?

10. One last thing...it's always good form to click "thanks" when assistance is lent.

The senior people on here once were where you are now and are happy to lend a hand. Read the Xda rules and all should be well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
Theres some very very good things in there. I agree with mostly everything you said.

For someone new I really would only recommend sideloading one thing, and that is the amazon marketplace. Before root and the real market I stumbled across alot of suspicious apk's looking for things, people need to be very careful downloading vaguely worded things on file shares and torrent sites.

The google market is well worth it and really it is fairly easy to root and install. The key to anything here is to follow the instructions exactly, word for word

Also we won't need apps2sd. That was mainly for phones with very small internal storage, even when we can repartion we will be able to choose how much storage for apps we want. As it stands right now I believe we have the largest storage available of any android device by far.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] KDOG2020:
Well I'm as noob as they get so, I just want to know if this will get rooted and run Ice Cream Sandwich. I've been eyeballing that 7" Acer tablet too (A100) but I want to see if this may be a better buy since I have no need of a camera.... I'll be watching this forum closely...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Tel864:
Thanks Skeeterpro for that link to SD Formatter. I can now put away the camera I've been using to format my cards.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skeeterpro:
Good point, chum. Agree with you on Amazon App store. Also, something to remember to everyone that if you DO install an app from Amazon then later delete the Store App....the programs you installed from them will cease to work until you re-install the Amazon App Store app. Really! I thought that was Urban Legend but others have verified.

AppBrain is another along with Android Market I have used.

"Largest storage of any android device by far"....think I might have to ask you how you mean that. There are many android devices with larger internal (eMMC) storage. Unless I mis-read your statement there, partner. :)

Gotta say I have strong doubts we will see an "official release" of ICS to the NT. As I have said (repeatedly) in the KF forums, BN/Amazon have no reason to upgrade the OS for the devices as it doesn't enhance their revenue stream. The fact remains the NT (and KF) is an e-reader that runs android. Just because it's "called" a tablet doesn't necessarily mean it is the same AS a tablet. These devices exists to sell content. That the NC was so modifiable was gravy. BN learned their lesson, it appears, with the NT (sadly). "Nook Old-Timers" will recall it took BN a long time to upgrade the original NC from 2.1 (Eclair) to 2.2 (Froyo) and that was primarily just for Flash support (to sell more BN content).

If (and that's a BIG "if") the current challenges can be overcome, one of the talented Dev might be able to port something but that could be months away.

Side note: had the Acer A100 for a couple weeks before returning it. Horrible battery life (<5 hours), smaller internal eMMC, and lousy viewing angles broke the deal for me for that price point. Have also read that Acer is most likely abandoning the tablet arena so the "promised ICS release in January" may or may not happen. Just my opinion/observations.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
I was wrong. I'm used to phones where there is two partitions, one for data and another for user storage. A quick google search showed me that Honeycomb tablets aren't partitioned apps install right next to user files.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antonyfl:
Is it possible to mount the sd card right after it boots without having to manually pull it out and sticking it back in?

Some apps that have data on the sdcard fail at reboot because the nt. Does not automatically remount the card. Ex) thumb keyboard
